Hey guys I have a THL W7+ quad core and wanted to wake the screen with the volume keys, and follow a tutorial fron inernet y now no works physical buttons. I can help you repair this? thanks
[Hardware Hacking General] Strolls:
Has anyone replaced the screen on a THL W7 series, please?

Has anyone replaced the screen on a THL W7 series, please?

My mum dropped her W7S in early February, and I ordered a new screen from an online seller in China which arrived a few days ago.

I'm usually quite handy with this sort of thing - I've repaired laptops and iMacs in the past, and they can be quite fiddly and stressful - but I can't see how to release this phone's screen.

I can't find any videos or discussion of screen replacements for the W7S, but I see that some other phones require a hot air blower at 160ºc to heat the glue and allow the screen to be prised off. I think I recollect that iPhone screens must be repaired this way - is that right?

Is it necessary to use a hot air blower to replace the screen of the W7S, please?

I've uploaded some images of my mum's phone - I can't see how to disassemble it further - and also one from Jupiter2012's review that shows the screen. I can't see any more screws at the back (there are about a dozen to get the white internal cover off), nor any way to prise up the screen or release it from the bevel.

I currently have a Rezound with PagePlus Cellular. Yeah, I know 4g phones aren't officially supported by PagePlus Cellular, but I manually programmed the phone with CDMA WS and only have talk & text working.

But there is a company, PlatinumTel, that has cheaper prepaid rates [PlatinumTel $0.02/txt, $0.10/MB vs PPC $0.05/txt, $0.99/MB, PlatinumTel a little cheaper on voice calls], so I plan to switch to them in about 2 months when my balance runs out on PagePlus.

The thing is, PlatinumTel officially uses any unlocked GSM phone. I have heard reports that locked tmobile phones work fine, since it's tmobile's network they use. So I tried to find a tmobile phone with 1280x720 display for a decent price, like my HTC Rezound, but I couldn't. Then I found the Sensation, and it has a 960x540 display, and I could probably live with that.

So what are your opinions? Should I get this phone? Does it have a working JB rom, or just ICS? I unlocked my Rezound bootloader with htcdev, and I looked and it shows the "Sensation 4G T-mobile" on the list, so I assume that is the way to go.

Or should I just try to find a better unlocked phone? I don't want to spend more than $150 if I can help it.. and I would like a microSD and removable battery. Otherwise I'd probably try to find a cheap Nexus 4 :P

thanks
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
You could go the way of the Samsung Galaxy S2 also. But basically, HTC has better build quality, Samsung is a hair faster and has a cheap plasticity. The Sensation has great development, GB through to JB. JB is great right now.

[HTC Sensation] albanodesign:
htc sensation is a good phone but the camera isn't as good as s II
[HTC Sensation] mvmacd:
well the question, is there a better unlocked phone with better specs for a similar price?

Even at&t if it can be unlocked free [some community sim unlock tool/app, like the sgs2 AT&T can be unlocked with just an app, from what I read on a thread].

I won't be switching till March so I have plenty of time to research/decide what I want to look out for on craigslist. and perhaps if I find a cheap sgs2 I would get it. But is T-mobile's or AT&T's SGS2 better? I think the T-mobile version has a larger screen, right?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
HTC and 'better build quality' are not terms that ordinarily are used in conjunction with one another. HTC devices are all plagued with quality control issues. Dusty screens, sub standard parts in half the devices, different quality screens in the same model phone, power buttons that fall off, etc etc etc....

Samsung devices feel made to last to me. I've got a Samsung tablet and have played with the Galaxy SIII. Both just make the Sensation feel like it's a toy by comparison.

This is the Stock Xperia T SystemUI without small apps and it works fine with any bug on XP

What I really like about this app is the stock Battery icon and % also the in-one-row toggle buttons, the only thing is missing for me is the transparent status bar (transparency).

there are a lot of mods here, they all are great and fabolous mods, don't get me wrong but for me seems there isn't any single one with this features i described

if someone just could add the transparency to be setted in 25% i will be very grateful

[HTC Sensation] Max792:
hiya i wonder if any1 can help!

basically my phone was telling me my sd card had been removed (no big deal i thought, this seems to happen to my phone from time to time since running this ROM (bruce2728's cm10)).

i can usually either remove the sd card and put back in, or the same with the battery to get it working again. but no matter how many times i try it wont work. also when using this ROM (and before this problem) every time that i try to enter storage from the settings menu, settings force closes.

so completely out of ideas i tried doing a wipe and trying again. now u see im fairly new to all this and that seems to get touted as a way to fix some things, so i thought id give it a go.

but now my phone wont get past the white with green HTC logo, its been sat like that for about an hour! and in recovery it just says that it cannot mount sd card!!

i feel im firmly up **** creek. is there any way to fix this? perhaps a way to flash a ROM without using sd card to a phone that wont boot up?

i feel i might need to flash a new bootanimation.img as i changed this from the default in the ROM, could i also do this without an sd card or a phone that wont get past HTC logo?

i hope there is someone out there that can help!

thank you in advance,

Max
[HTC Sensation] mlcgruhlke:
I would install ARHD from Mike1986 it seems to help resettle the device running a sense ROM. Make sure you follow his instructions using ext4 and super wipe
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you are S-ON enable smartflash first from 4ext and then flash the rom
[HTC Sensation] Max792:
yeah thats what i always do but because i cant access my sd card i cant flash the ROM which is saved on it. it just keeps saying cant mount /sdcard
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
The recovery won't pick up the SD card? That is very odd. Do you have any others around to test with?

tapped out from my sexy sensation XE ;)
[HTC Sensation] MS Gray Man:
I'm assuming you've tried pulling the battery, unseating the sd card, reseating it, putting battery back, and going to recovery right?

If that doesn't work I'd suggest trying to read the sd in card in a PC... is it readable there?

All in all you can get to recovery so you arent that bad off, just need to figure out what's up with the SD.
[HTC Sensation] Max792:
Yes I can view my SD card on both my PC and my tablet :/ but when I boot into 4ext it says problem mounting SD card, may take longer without. Then when 4ext loads I can't manually mount SD or browse for zip file. You think this is more likely a hardware issue with my sensation?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
On your PC, copy all your files off your SD card, format your SD card (makes sure the filesystem is set to fat32), and then just put 1 file on it, a ROM, and see if the recovery detects it. If that doesn't work then you can always try using a different SD card.
[HTC Sensation] Max792:
Okay thanks I will try this, but I think its the SD card tray that has gone because I just squeezed it and it was able to mount, however only for a second then 4ext rebooted
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
This isn't part of your SD card problem. This was a ROM bug that was fixed in the Jan 9th update. Any use of the storage menu from the settings on the late December to Jan 6th builds caused a FC.

So if you are using one of those builds, don't factor in th esettings FC in your diagnosis of the problem.

SD card ejections were also an issue on the Dec 21 - Jan 3rd builds if I recall correctly. I had one day where the SD card would just unmount and refused to remount. It was a problem experienced by only a handful of people and seemed to be very limited. Though if you can't mount in recovery than that's probably not the issue.

Also, you said you could press the SD card into the slot and it mounted for a second...

2 things on that note.

First, your SD card might be the problem. Maybe the contacts are worn out. Take a lcose look at it and make sure it looks okay. No corrosion, etc...

Second, the metal housing around the SD card...that can be mashed in slightly to put more pressure on the card. Take the card out and press the middle of that housing in. It could create enough force to hold the card in more securely. Be VERY careful with this option though.

Also, did you make sure another SD card got the same problem? If another card works, then your card is just f'ed.
[HTC Sensation] Max792:
cheers mate helped a lot. i did actually see that kind of talk in the thread but kind of passed over it because it hadnt affected me... yet!

if it was a ROM bug i feel im totally f'ed as i cant flash a new version due to the inaccessible sd card.

yeah ive been doing this exact mashing you speak of lol, hopefully it will work or i am completely out of ideas :\

cheers everybody for your help tho guys really appreciate it
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
Find the exact rom you were on and take the boot IMG out of it. Wipe your data and cache and then boot to fastboot. With the boot.IMG

In your adb folder do fastboot boot boot.IMG and see if it boots into the rom.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nickitt:
So, as im sure everyone has herd of people screwing others over via selling phone off of Craigslist. I posted a add, selling or trading or buying for a note 2. Planned on giving my S3 to my beloved girlfriend. He pursued me. He gave me the esn, was perfect once checked. Drove an hour away, bought it. Went to the near by Sprint store to find out its still activated blah blah blah. So, I called the guy. He said, he was at Verizon getting their Note 2, (said hes a business man, his partner had Verizon and never had trouble with it). Paid $350. Too good to be true huh? He was at Verizon when i called him and said he was porting the number right then and there, i herd him tell the guy to do it right now. Beginning to figure out its a lost caused. & im not about to go and do what he did to me.

I remembered the guy at Sprint saying, sometimes its not instant. He said his personal phone took 18 hrs, but ive always expierenced 2-3 seconds from Sprint.

For now, until I can get closer or anything.

Shes having fun using the multiwindow. Was really wanting to Root it and start a new Journey from the GS3.

Anything would help me, honestly.

Never thought something would happen like this.

Thanks guys, hope everyone on the Gnote is as cool as the GS3 :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexiking713:
This sucks but their is hope in getting most if not all your money back. You can sell it locally or on ebay as bad esn to be flashed to another carrier. I payed $350 for mine when it came out and it was a bad esn phone. I think i got it cheap considering how popular this phone is. I say sell it and be more cautious next time. Hope that makes you fell a little better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nickitt:
So, why cant I just get it flashed for myself instead of selling it so someone else can do so? Ugh, yeah. Just feel STUCK!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
why not be a little patient and give it a day or two for everything to be fully ported to his phone and then try to activate it online?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] finalhit:
Yea, just wait.

The guy is on the hook for paying the monthly service. The phone won't be active for ever...Unless of course the phone is stolen, and the real owner has yet to cancel it...and the esn will eventually go bad.

swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexiking713:
Wait it out if you want to use it with the original carrier which im guessing is the reason you bought it. There are many guides out there for flashing to another carrier but its always safer to have a professional flash it for you. If all else fails you can always sell it and buy another one. Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] intelli78:
If the phone came with the box and original accessories, it is more likely he is telling the truth. If you bought the phone only, there is a good chance you were ripped off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
If it's really activated you could be a jerk and run up the other guy's phone bill...

... but if it's just that the ESN is still allocated to the account and they stiffed a bill then you're out of luck using that MEID for some time. Good news that at some point it should free up and you'd be able to use it if that's the case.

Either way Sprint can check for you by giving the Dec MEID.... even over chat. Just ask if it's still active or if you can activate on your account.

And porting can take up to 3 days. I held off on my port until I knew the MVNO was in office to avoid any issues... port was done in short order due to that prep.

Hi.

I have same problem with stock rom on 4.1.2.

I use the phone on gsm network in Romania (VF).

My phone do same like above:

- boot

- load system

- in 80 % of cases, reboot after pick-up network signal

I manage to root my phone and to install safestrap on it and to try to install some custom roms.

All rom above 4.2.2 work on my phone. I have some issues with all rom (screen rotation is not working) but my phone works.

Is any way to make stock rom to work?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjezza:
ROM: JellyBam 5.0.0

Kernel: Siyah v5 vsync

I have been getting really bad standby times lately (half a day if I don't charge in car/at work). I started looking more closely at battery stats and GSam Battery Monitor is reporting that my screen is using more battery/power when it is OFF (in standby) than when its ON and I'm actually using the phone. If this is correct then it would explain why I'm getting such bad standby times. Screenshots are attached.

Can someone help me confirm if this stat is correct (ie, that GSam's calculation shows low % screen off power usage on a GS2 with good standby)?

If it is correct then does anyone have any idea what might be going on and/or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
I'd factory reset and/or re-flash that. Naughty little screen off you got there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjezza:
Thanks for the advice gastonw. I'll try reflash first and if its no good then I'll do full wipe.

Just so I know, what is a normal % for screen off power consumption?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
You might wanna wait until a jellybam user drops by. I'm not familiar with that ROM. My suggestion is only based on what makes sense to me, then again, I'm no expert.

Screen off shouldn't be draining your battery at all, it should be OFF. Get cpu spy from the store and check the deep sleep %.

Maybe there's something working and disguises itself as a screen consumption.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjezza:
reflashed and got 1 great day out of it - really low % screen usage for on and off screen. now its chewing power again, but it seems like its not the screen but instead kernel / android os. think im best doing a complete wipe, reset and reflash over the weekend.

from memory deep sleep % was around 65-70% in cpuspy across a working day of usage, is that acceptable? even though the battery is draining really fast again, deep sleep is staying around this figure today.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Check out the media scanner issue. It's a known bug in JB. Might wanna check the jelly bam thread to see if it's normal.

A full wipe would be wise tho.
